The Barnstable Conservation Commission has adopted
the following requirements in order to obtain more consistently complete
submission documents necessary for a thorough and efficient review
of all notice of intent (NOI) applications. Failure to complete any
of the items in this checklist may result in your application being
denied.

The applicant or applicant's agent should check each box denoting that the task has been completed or in certain instances, like field staking, denoting that the task will be completed. The following submission checklist covers the requirements of Chapter 237, Wetlands Protection, of Part I, General Ordinances, of the Code of the Town of Barnstable. This checklist shall be submitted to the Barnstable Conservation Division with the NOI application.
